Rating of the best dolls for girls. How to choose dolls for girls of different ages? Review of the best doll models The most famous children's dolls

The variety of dolls for little girls today is so great that it is even difficult to classify them. Until recently, children were delighted with the ruling Barbie doll and traditional dolls. Today, doll manufacturers are fighting not only for the hearts of children, but also for their minds, and each company tries to surpass the other in ingenuity and extravagance. It is often no longer enough for manufacturers to simply release a doll - children need to be interested in all areas: create a website about the doll, film an animated series, publish a magazine and make a video game.
The frequently changing demands of children have led to adults also becoming interested in dolls. And now in the United States, collecting dolls is the second most popular hobby after philately. So now doll manufacturers are counting not only on the interest of children, but also on their parents.
Forbes has selected 13 dolls that can be given as gifts to daughters, younger sisters, nieces, and even to yourself.

Madame Alexander, from 1500 rubles
Manufacturer: Alexander Doll Company

Alexander Doll Company was founded almost 90 years ago by the daughter of Russian immigrants, Beatrice Alexandra Berman. The company's most famous line of dolls is Wendy. In it you can, for example, find a little cowboy girl Li’l Cowgirl in a wide-brimmed hat, a daisy-telling doll with chestnut curls He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not, or a girl Alice from Wonderland.

Madame Alexander dolls can be roughly divided into several series: baby dolls, play dolls and collectible dolls. Most dolls are about 20 centimeters tall, made of vinyl, have blown glass eyes, moveable arms and legs, and open and close eyes.

Dolls from Alexander Doll Company are themed. For example, there are famous women (for example, the Cissette Clara Bow doll is created in the image and likeness of the early 20th century silent film actress Clara Bow). In addition, the company has produced and produces a whole range of dolls under license: for example, from the manufacturer you can see heroines from the film “Gone with the Wind” or the TV series “Desperate Housewives”. In the “History of Fashion” series you can find dolls dressed in the clothes of kings and queens, and in the “Peoples of the World” series you can tell little girls what women’s national clothing from different countries looks like.

Gotz, 900-7000 rubles

Manufacturer: Götz Puppenmanufaktur

The German doll brand Gotz has existed since the mid-20th century, and over its history has collected dozens of international prizes and awards - Gotz dolls are among the top 100 best toys in the USA. A distinctive feature of the German brand is the portrait resemblance of the dolls to real children: expressive eyes, long thick hair made from natural materials that can be washed, combed, and curled. And the clothes Gotz wear can be washed and ironed.

Several series are produced under the Gotz brand: baby dolls; dolls that try to appear grown-up, but still look like little girls; and adult, beautifully dressed young ladies. Each doll has its own story and purpose. For example, “Baby Cookie” dolls can sit up on their own, and small dolls from the “Aquini” series are waterproof and designed for swimming (sold with terry robes), there are ballerina, horsewoman, and fashionista dolls.

Often Gotz dolls end up on collectors' shelves - for example, if they came out in a limited edition. Such dolls are made by hand from a specially developed material that imitates leather, their hairstyles are made of natural hair or mohair, and their clothes are made of exclusive fabrics and genuine leather.

Moxie, 900-2000 rubles

Moxie Girlz dolls are produced by the American company MGA Entertainment. The company's founder, Isaac Larian, came to the doll business from the computer games industry, and one of the company's employees was Carter Bryant, who had previously worked as a creative designer for Mattel Corporation. It was under his strict leadership that in 2001, Bratz dolls appeared in stores, which were able to supplant Barbie dolls, which had reigned on the “toy” Olympus for almost half a century (Mattel is still trying to sue MGA Entertainment). The prudent Larian decided to play it safe, so a few years ago Bratz got half-sisters - Moxie.

Isaac Larian and his team of designers did not reinvent the wheel, therefore, taking a closer look at Moxie, you can find a lot of similarities with the “sisters” from the Bratz brand. However, there is a significant difference. Bratz dolls (brat in English means “ill-mannered child”) are bad girls from the street. And the Moxie girls (translated as “brave”), on the contrary, are the right kind. Moxie's makeup and facial expressions are much softer, and sequins, Lurex and large Bratz jewelry have been replaced by bows, ribbons and cotton fabrics. As a result, Moxie dolls have lost the vulgarity and pretentiousness inherent in their older sisters.

Winx, 1000-5000 rubles

Manufacturer: Simba

In 2004, director Iginio Strafi filmed at the Italian studio Rainbow S.p.A. animated series Winx Club, which is based on a story about schoolgirls with magical powers. A simple girl Bloom from the town of Gardenia unexpectedly discovered amazing talents in herself and ended up in the best school for fairies in the world. There Bloom met her future friends Stella, Muse, Tekna, Flora and Leila, whom she united into her club.

Rainbow Studios managed to create a product that initially provided the ideal basis for an entire gaming universe. All girls, as required by the classics of the genre, are the embodiment of goodness and justice. They have enemies (the girl trio The Trix) and boy friends (The Specialists). Winx Club dolls have already been named the third most popular dolls in the world. For several years, fairy girls were bestsellers in Germany, France and their homeland of Italy. Four seasons of a series, two full-length cartoons were filmed about magical girls, a musical was staged, an ice show and a series of books were written.

The American company Mattel and the Italian company Giochi Preziosi (also produces the famous sorceress dolls W.I.T.C.H.) were involved in the transformation of cartoon characters at different times. Now stores sell Winx from the German corporation Simba, which is known to the world for its Steffi Love dolls, an inexpensive alternative to Barbie. Simba's most famous line of sorceresses is the Winx Club Rockband: these dolls are sold in electric guitar boxes and come with mini-discs.

Baby Born, 1500-4200 rubles

Manufacturer: Zapf Creation

Baby Born is the most popular interactive baby doll in the world. The creator of the “baby”, Victor Prakas, is often compared to Master Gipetto, Pinocchio’s father. One day, an Australian craftsman went to buy a birthday present for one of his seven children and his eyes fell on a Cabbage Patch doll. Returning home, Prakas told his wife that he was ready to make a better doll than this one. After some time, the Baby Born doll was born, which means “newborn”. As Prakas later admitted in an interview, he wanted to make a doll that “would help a girl feel like a little mother.” That is why Baby Born “can” move her arms and legs, cry with real tears, drink from a bottle and even go to the toilet.

In the early 1990s, Prakas joined the German company Zarf Creation, and Baby Born began its triumphant march around the world. Last spring, hundreds of people on RuNet sent each other a link to a forum thread called “Help! Baby Born doesn't want to poop! The topic was raised by a desperate mother who couldn’t get her daughter’s favorite baby doll to go to the toilet after a special porridge. Users sympathized, gave advice, and some shared their grief: Baby Born “the whole house was dirty and they couldn’t be stopped.”

Monster High, 600-3500 rubles

Manufacturer: Mattel, Inc

Last year, the most famous “doll” corporation Mattel decided to compete for the hearts of older children - those who are no longer happy with the image of a Barbie doll. Mattel's efforts have culminated in a new line of dolls called Monster High, which some media outlets have already dubbed "the most eccentric gaming doll in recent years."

The game concept of the new series is a story about a school where monsters study together with ordinary teenagers, among whom are the children of famous movie characters (for example, Frankenstein and the Mummy). The skin color of 25-centimeter girls and 28-centimeter boys is, to put it mildly, unexpected - from bright pink to pale green. Each humanoid monster comes with a pet (for example, a pink piranha in an aquarium), some kind of accessory and a diary.

Not only did Mattel's design team get creative, but so did the marketing department. Instead of traditional advertising, the corporation offered children an animated series about a school of monsters and posted short videos on YouTube. And at the end of last year, writer Lizzie Harrison released her first book about the adventures of unusual schoolchildren, and the premiere of the musical is scheduled for next year.

Allysen, $65-80

Manufacturer: Playmates Toys

Psychologists have long been arguing about the influence that dolls have on children, and about what kind of toys girls should have. The manufacturing company Playmates has gone beyond this talk and created a doll that can communicate and play with a child.

Playmates called their creation Amazing Allysen doll. Allysen has a built-in mechanism that allows you to recognize key words in human speech and support dialogue, for example, about music or fashion. The doll accompanies its speech, albeit banal and sketchy, but with facial expressions - according to the manufacturer’s idea, it looks as if “the doll is experiencing real emotions.”

In addition, Allysen is constantly learning: collecting information about the interlocutor, adding information about the hostess (date of birth, favorite color, hobby) to its “brain” in order to use this knowledge in conversations in the future. If Allysen knows that her owner likes banana candy, she will offer her half.

Dream of Doll, from $70

Manufacturer: Dream of Doll

Dolls from the Korean company Dream of Doll are made of porcelain-like plastic and look incredibly beautiful. All of them are dressed in hand-sewn clothes that copy the real thing down to the last detail. Each doll has a name, age and, of course, a backstory. Many dolls are very reminiscent of the heroes of the popular book “Twilight” among girls - among the dolls there are vampires.

Dream of Doll dolls belong to the articulated category. Most of the parts in them are replaceable: you can change the color of the eyes, the position of the fingers, the wig, and even give the doll piercings and tattoos. These dolls can assume almost any human pose thanks to joints built into the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, torso, hips, knees, ankles and fingers.

Momoko, from 1500 rubles

Manufacturer: Sekiguchi

In Japan, a doll is considered not just children's fun, but mainly an object of admiration. The Japanese believe that dolls are capable of bringing good, protecting peace and tranquility in the home, and averting evil forces, illnesses and natural disasters.

The Momoko doll, with its distinctive Asian appearance, was originally intended to be simply a “beauty and fashionista.” However, now Momoko personifies all kinds of youth subcultures: goths, punks and many others. Momoko can also be found in traditional wedding dresses or fancy dress costumes. Like the Dream of Doll dolls, the Momoko line belongs to the articulated doll category, so the Japanese doll can be given any pose.

Momoko is currently produced by Sekiguchi. But for the first time it was introduced to the doll market by the Petworks corporation. Then, in 2001, Momoko was a real dream for collectors, since it was produced in a limited edition - 50-1400 copies of one model. The cost of each doll started at $200. However, about six years ago, the rights to produce Momoko were transferred to the Sekiguchi corporation, which, either in gratitude for the honor that had befallen it, or in the hope of multimillion-dollar profits, decided to replicate the doll.

Tonner Doll, $120-220

Manufacturer: Tonner Doll Company, Inc.

Tonner dolls, perfect from all points of view, are produced by the American corporation Tonner Doll Company, one of the most successful doll manufacturers in the world. Doll designer and artist Robert Tonner creates both classic “children’s” dolls and movable fashion dolls with huge fashionable wardrobes. Robert Tonner began his career as a women's clothing designer. His hobby was collecting dolls, until one day he decided to try creating his own models. Almost 30 years ago he released his first doll. In 1991, Tonner decided to devote himself entirely to the doll business: then the history of the Tonner Doll Company corporation began.

The company's main line is the 16-inch Tyler Wentworth doll: a New York beauty always dressed in stylish and sophisticated outfits made from natural silk and cashmere. Children's favorites also include clothing store owner Kitty Collier, "queen-of-everything" Anne Estelle and Tyler's little sister, schoolgirl Marley Wentworth.

There are real stars among Tonner's dolls. For example, just over five years ago, Harry Potter fans saw on store shelves small, meticulously crafted doll copies of Potter characters. And when the youth saga about vampires and werewolves “Twilight” was released, Robert Tonner, a fan of Stephenie Meyer’s work, based on whose novels the feature film was created, released a series of Twilight dolls.

Strawberry Shortcake, $10-30

Manufacturer: Hasbro

Strawberry Shortcake dolls, one of the top 10 most popular children's dolls on Amazon, are produced by the American company Hasbro, one of the world's largest toy manufacturers, which was founded by Henry and Helal Hasenfeld in the 1920s.

The story of Strawberry Shortcake began in 1977 in Cleveland, when the "cake girl" was created by greeting card illustrator Muriel Fahrion. The brand with this name arose in the early 1980s and grew into an entire doll industry. Strawberry Shortcake dolls will be of interest to girls aged two to seven years. For each doll you can buy a wardrobe, a house or a car.

Bitty Buttons Lalaloopsy Dolls, $25-50

Producer: MGA Entertainment

Lalaloopsy dolls were created last year by MGA Entertainment, the company behind Bratz and Moxie. Today the line of Lalaloops is represented by ten dolls. Lalaloopsy Dolls are a new word in the toy world: they look like rag dolls are actually made of plastic, they have movable arms, legs and heads, the role of eyes on their faces is played by small black or blue buttons, and their hair is dyed pink, orange, yellow , blue and purple colors.

Surprisingly, but true: in just a few months of existence, Bitty Buttons Lalaloopsy dolls have already won children's hearts - they are in the top 5 most popular toys on the Amazon website.

Blythe, 1000-8000 rubles

Manufacturer: Hasbro

The Blythe doll was invented in 1972 and was radically different from all its predecessors with a disproportionately large head and huge eyes. Using a simple mechanism, these dolls can change the color of their eyes and the direction of their gaze. However, the invention failed miserably: children of the 1970s were clearly not as advanced as the generation of Bratz dolls, so the Blythe girls only frightened their little mistresses. This led to the fact that the entire produced batch of big-eyed dolls ended up in warehouses.

After 30 years, the Blythe doll fell into the hands of American film producer Gina Garan, who decided to use it for her photographic experiments. Her hands turned a toy that was once written off as unnecessary into a bestseller. Experts agreed: the doll was simply ahead of its time. But now Blythe has become so popular that even a special term has come into use - bleizomania. For example, Kelly Osbourne, Marilyn Manson and Liv Tyler are infected with this disease.

Children and adults all over the world love toys. Including various dolls. Almost every country has its own “national hero” - its own doll. It is impossible to imagine a little girl who does not have a favorite doll, no matter if it was bought for hundreds of dollars and knitted by her mother from old threads. The main thing is that it is very necessary!

Let's look at which dolls have conquered the world. So, meet the very best dolls:

1. Barbie

This doll is known all over the world and has probably been in the hands of any modern Russian girl. The world's favorite recently celebrated her fiftieth anniversary, because her story began in 1952. She originally appeared under the guise of a comic book blonde named Lilly in Germany. Then she turned into a doll, similar to one Hollywood actress Jayne Mansfield.

The first Barbie was released by the owner of the American toy company, Ruth Hendler. Her daughter's name was Barbora, which is why Barbie got that name. Initially, Barbie was sold only in heels and a swimsuit, and later had the largest wardrobe in the world. Since then, Barbie has sold billions of copies worldwide.

Barbie gets a house with furniture, dishes and appliances, a car, her own retinue, her friend Ken, her favorite pets and other related things.
The doll survived both the peak of popularity and loud scandals about its appearance. Doctors and psychologists were very concerned about the “Barbie syndrome,” when girls, wanting to have the same appearance, tormented themselves with diets and plastic surgery, and young people looked for their ideal woman only by external indicators. So don't forget to explain to your kids that dolls are just dolls. Don't live a doll's life!

2. Bratz

A certain image of an eccentric teenage girl with a beautiful appearance and a bad character quickly gained popularity and recognition throughout the world and became a competitor to Barbie dolls. Bratz girls are made of vinyl, they also have a pronounced sexuality (breasts, plump lips, provocative makeup, slender figures). The dolls were released in 2001 and immediately became favorites.

Psychologists and doctors again fear for the emotional and physical health of a child who is absorbed in his favorite toy. The behavior model instilled and imposed by doll manufacturers can form distorted thinking and behavior in the child. However, the beautiful dolls are instantly sold out from store shelves around the world.

3. Mukly

Unusual for the Russian market, they are quite large (40 cm) compared to miniature Barbie and expensive (from 12 thousand rubles), beautiful and moving dolls, each of which has its own story-legend. As conceived by the producers, the Muklas are the beautiful daughters of rich parents who study at a closed college. Each of them has its own name and an invented life...

The creator of the masterpiece is Polina Voloshina. The prototypes of the dolls are real people, with their own characters and destinies. So each doll is an imitation of a girl from real life. For a teenager, such a Mukla can serve as a kind of outlet, because you can tell her about everything, and she won’t betray or tell her friends. Usually, a girl is very attached to her doll and does not part with it for some time.

4. Moxie

In 2008, the same manufacturer (American company MGA Entertainment) that made the Bratz dolls released new dolls based on those models - Moxie. Now they are more tender, more feminine. Makeup became more moderate, clothes took on a calmer tone. The extra tinsel has disappeared, now the time has come for naturalness and elegance.

The new four doll girls are no longer hooligans, but well-behaved beauties. Beautiful Moxie dolls are not just toys. They instill in their owner artistic taste and the ability to master the art of clothing design. Thanks to the opportunity to have their own style, wardrobe, various accessories, car, and the like, Moxie girls are a whole doll world for any princess.

Many additions include some professions that girls are interested in: “young fashion designer, young designer, young hairdresser.” No wonder they gained popularity so quickly. In addition, these cutie dolls are much more harmless than their predecessors - the Bratz hooligans. Now doctors and psychologists reacted more complacently and even praised the manufacturer for the opportunity for the harmonious development of the little fashionista and beauty, the owner of her favorite Moxie doll.

In 2010, the company released several more versions of the charming Moxie, larger ones (35cm). Now the dolls have expressive eyes with luxurious false eyelashes, just like real ones. Girls can move into different positions and have removable wigs.

5. Reborn dolls

Not only little girls and young ladies love to play with dolls. Sometimes adult women are happy to purchase a cute doll, especially if it is an almost natural copy of a real baby. With all the organs, folds on the skin and completely different children's faces.

Reborn dolls are very popular, despite their high cost (several hundred, or even thousands of dollars). Each of these dolls is unique. Rebons not only have their own name, but also their own passport and date of birth. Women nurse them like babies, feeding and bathing them. And some even buy a special child seat for cars, fasten their little ones in, and walk with a doll in a stroller. Moreover, women daily post photos of their dolls in new outfits or discuss their “children’s problems”, who sleeps and eats… But we are talking about a doll!

In Russia, there are already craftswomen of Reborn dolls who sell their creations for no less than 20 thousand rubles, but even at these prices there are happy buyers of “daughters” and “sons.” Psychologists remain silent about whether such a protracted game of “mother-daughter” will lead to good.

6. Baby Annabelle

This doll is also an imitation of a real baby, but not so realistic. Although the baby can do all the basic human actions: she cries and laughs, she yawns and makes baby sounds like “aha,” she sucks a pacifier and “eats” from a bottle. She needs love and care. Your little daughter will be a good mother to her!

Baby Annabelle reacts to sounds and noise, and may wake up and cry when someone screams, for example. She is also sensitive to touch and can express affection, smile and laugh.

Currently, four main versions of dolls have been released, which differ in functionality and appearance.

In addition to dolls, various children's items are sold: cribs, high chairs, strollers, etc.

Indeed, a doll can replace a little girl’s brother or sister, because she even cries with tears! It is believed that Baby Anabelle is the best doll for girls who love to take care of and babysit other children.

7. Ugly dolls

Plush ugly dolls are very popular. They are pretty cute colorful monsters, which were invented by two guys from the USA, David Horvath and Sun Kim. They are flying off the shelves faster than the legendary Barbie. Collectors buy toys by the box, because they are all different and unusual. Some people buy “freaks” to decorate their homes, others buy them as gifts for children. The toy is quite unique. In many it causes a storm of conflicting feelings. Nevertheless, “monsters” are loved and popular not only in America, but also in many other countries of the world.

8. American Girl Dolls

Good, high-quality and fairly large dolls (45cm) are the dream of any girl, and not only American ones. The dolls have their own names and long stories, which are sold as a separate book included with the doll. These amazing dolls last for decades and are even inherited from mother to daughter, since they were released quite a long time ago - in 1986. The dolls were an instant success. Until now, many American families specifically save money (dolls are quite expensive from $100) in order to please their little princess with such a desired gift.

The dolls have almost the same facial expression, they differ only in the color of their skin, eyes and hair. Dolls are not dangerous for a child because they do not carry any negativity; on the contrary, they look cute and kind. Plus, they are not made in the shape of a model girl, but in the shape of a little girl, which is quite nice. The wardrobe and accessories are designed in huge quantities, and there are a lot of variations of dolls - there is plenty to choose from!

We looked at only the most famous dolls, and there are thousands of types. For example, recently dolls have become popular - models of various celebrities and idols, dolls - horror stories, dolls - disabled people imitating various injuries and diseases, Japanese dolls - kokeshi, various doll amulets, talismans and other dolls. The world of dolls is very diverse!

In addition to their unusual pedigree, the eccentric Monster High dolls are also strikingly different from other toys in appearance. Brightly dressed, with big eyes, plump lips and colorful hair, they attract the attention of not only children, but also adults. Moreover, each Monster High doll has a pet animal and keeps a diary.

Not only beauty, but also functionality

Monster dolls are a lot of fun to play with. You can easily do the splits, change clothes, or comb your hair. Thanks to built-in hinges, they easily tilt your head, bend your knees, elbows and wrists, and rotate at the waist. True, in order to change the dress for the girls, they have to take off their hands, since it is inconvenient to dress through protruding fingers. Monster High dolls are made from plastic and vinyl, with the head and arms being softer than the body. All the fingers are separate and molded very delicately, while the hairstyles are usually varnished. The height of the doll guys is 28 cm, and the girls are 26 cm. The man should be taller - Mattel technologists tried to take into account every little detail.

Monster High dolls are a great gift for children

When the first “monsters” appeared on American shelves, they were sold out instantly. The invented images are so memorable and rich that children simply dream of receiving at least one such doll as a gift. So why deny them pleasure if this beauty has become available? Both kids and schoolchildren will definitely enjoy playing “Monster School.” And the pleasure of seeing a happy child is much more valuable than the money spent.

It is in vain that parents believe that dolls are no longer as popular among modern children as they once were. These toys have successfully migrated from past centuries to our time and have become so diverse that it is easy to get lost in their assortment.

For the smallest toddlers, dolls are best suited, but for a child from three years old, almost any gaming beauties are suitable - traditional and interactive toys, soft Tilda, beautiful Barbies, demonic Monster High.

These interactive toys will appeal to every girl aged one year and older who is just starting to play mother-daughter games. The baby doll, which resembles a living child, “knows how” to shed tears, eat milk, and sit on the potty.

The effect of realism is provided by additional play accessories: pacifiers, jewelry, diapers, cutlery, bathtub. The appearance of the doll is also pleasing to the eye - a cute pink jumpsuit, which, by the way, can be taken off and put on.

Some parents are frightened by such excessive realism, since previously children themselves figured out a lot during play activities, including physiological processes (like going to the potty).

However, other mothers note that children's possibilities with such a doll expand significantly.

Fairies were so popular in 2015 that they overshadowed Barbie herself.
